9-1-1 SEASON 8, EPISODE 6 "CONFESSIONS"

What if it's called that because the entire episode takes place at church, with Eddie speaking with Hot Priest through the confessional...

And all the calls and everything else are "flashbacks" related to the reason that brought Eddie to the church, to Hot Priest, to the confessional...

And either the last scene is of Buck and Eddie after Eddie gets back from speaking with Hot Priest and he helps him shave...

OR...

Buck helps Eddie shave and it sparks the reason why Eddie runs to the church in the first place.

And the entire time we've been hearing Eddie’s voice but haven't seen him, until...

"Forgive me father for I have sinned."

"What is your sin, my child?"

Eddie leans forward, out of the shadows and into the light to reveal his freshly shaven face. "I've fallen in love with my best friend."

Episode cuts to black. Roll credits. Preview for next week.

#9-1-1 on abc #911 abc #911 on abc #eddie diaz #gay eddie diaz #911 spec #buck x eddie #evan 'buck' buckley #buddie #this is the kind of shit that jolts my brain just as I'm trying to go to sleep lmao #i was thinking about hot WAITER #and how he is probably. waiter at the 7x05 restaurant #and i was thinking how COULD or WHY would we be flashing back #and then it hit me #the narrative structure for 8x06 is eddie giving his confessional at church #all culminating in him realizing he is in love with buck #with an obvious fakeout of him being there because he thinks he is a terrible father #the parental issues are a red herring to disguise the being closeted #and yeah yeah there's a maddie buck and josh scene it can still make sense just give me a couple days lol #maybe buck was telling eddie what they spoke about and asks for his opinion #a story within a story #there you go

My worst Broadway hot take is that the 2005 CGI animated movie Hoodwinked would make a good stage musical, actually

#I think about hoodwinked more than I probably should but In my defense it was on Cartoon Network a LOT growing up #Anyway like it has a couple of songs baked in to begin with #But also the structure lends itself to a chorus line- or cats-like musical #In that you can have each character get a song and sing about what their deal is #At least two (red and the woodsman) already have some but you can also write new ones if ya want #Top of the woods is a great villain song #It’s cool and I think a mystery musical could be fun #You could play with the music a lot I think #Like there’s this bit in the movie abt how while red’s singing she bikes pst other characters #I just imagine a snippet of her song passing by in the background during some other scene #It has potential!!#…Someone like just followed me and I hope this is the first post of mine they see

The idea of trying to repair a giant superstructure that adores you and really just wants to cuddle is really funny to me.

oh n pray tell why, the job got more challenging in a really unexpected manner. that is a very serious business i'll let u know

#spot says stuff #rw #oc tag #/lh ofc #-sparrows voice- there are STREAKS in my FACE HOLES i am never putting down my mask ever again #she leaves the structure to go home one day n as she lets her hair go free a singular shrimp falls out of it #dammit. she says. dammit i have to take this back. dammit.#wrestling with inspectirs n those red things is a daily occurance. this is why she needs to keep in shape #at least theres no way her self-esteem can fall any lower like how the fuck would it manage That with This (Whole Euros) around

me highlighting my own paragraphs and sentences i'm not sure abt or i don't like makes me feel like i'm in school and i kind of fucking hate it

#having flashbacks to one of my worst years ever when i had to write this big research paper #and i let my friend look it over for me bc she's better with words #and she just kept #highlighting #everything #i watched my screen go red i watched her add comments and i just died inside #ghsdghahgdhgsadhghgs #SHE'S GOOD THOUGH BTW LIKE SHE SAVEDD MEEEEE #but oh my god i've never felt dumber #in my defense . teachers always told me that my Sentence Structure is weird okay............................#mayor of loserville

baru cormorant seems to me to be a series that suffers miserably for me having read machineries of empire first. unfortunately everything BC is doing strikes me as something MoE did better and more believably and with much a greater and more grounded eye for how systems, complex system interaction, and oppression like. work

#red rambles #also i don't like the writing very much so I'm not having as much fun with it as i did with MoE #but YHL straight up writes with the exact approach and methodology *i* write - the narrative frame is extremely close. the lines are punchy #the description is sparse the info we are delivered is typically in short wacky one-off chunks that tell us not only something about the #world but something about the narrator who is also the main character whose head we're in #the timing. so on and so forth #someone told me that seth dickinson is transfem but i cant find her (?) pronouns anywhere so if anyone knows where to see them i'd #appreciate a link if only to complain that i don't like her (?) writing that much in comparison because it is a lot less.... rewardingly #entertaining i suppose. when compared to the way yoon ha lee structures his. there are much fewer twists #and of course the major huge twist of Baru Cormorant was hidden from the reader which i just think is *bad form* when it comes to intrigue!#when yhl will lay all the moving pieces of the plot before you openly and say 'hey. isn't that a funny side tangent. anyway look to your #left; something is exploding' and then as it keeps unfolding he goes 'and here in small scale is how it is being used! isn't that #interesting to see how these pieces move? now look to your right; something is exploding' and then at the very end it all comes perfectly #together #the way i felt around the middle/end of Raven Strategem when i understood the spy network the first time is something that BC cannot do #you aren't trusted with the pieces and you don't get to play the game of understanding that you weren't *told* literally everything #i'm reading monster baru cormorant today as i go about my errands and I kinda don't think it's what i want because i want it to be the kind #of working awful poisoned bloodstained empire as the hexarchate and i want it to be a complex contradictory overlapping system like the #hexarchate's army and i want the banal cruelty of perfectly decent people condemning strangers to awful awful bloody deaths because they're #'not like us' instead of the petrified horror *everyone* has of the Social Contagion Agents because i just do not BUY the construction of #dickinson's Social Hygiene Offices and their place in the world #but i cant just read the MoE books any more. i'll get bored. i'm already kind of bored of reading them over and over

The slowest grower ever is now a whopping 8g at a year old. I don't know why she grows so slow, but she is growing!

#Ilex #for reference: Sunbird (similarly big on bugs) was 24g at this age #as Ilex is an expo pickup and has no lineage her being a potential breeder is highly dependent on if she hits at least 40g by two years old #it also depends on how much more her spots will spread and how bright her red gets. those are secondary though #as far as importance to me when picking breeders: number one is always going to be health #Apollo for example was in the running for being very robust at first. she hit 40g before 2 and has always been a great eater #then I judged her structure (amazing!) and her color (not so amazing.) and judged if her structure was worth breeding #as Sidewalk has middling structure (decent head but overall a bit underwhelming) but great color and pattern I figured it would be worth it #and taking the gamble on meh color was worth it. as 3 of 4 babies have been amazing already #sorry about the essay in the tags I've been thinking about my breeding goals as of late

I think I'm struggling creatively because as time goes on I find less and less motivation to write (and read, tbh!) stuff that's

good wholesome queer representation

escapist everything-gets-better fantasy ("because life is hard enough why would you write about miserable things")

palatable to people who disagree with me

And obviously I'm nowhere near finishing even a single original thing yet ahdfhajf but I've been looking at publishing videos that people who have experience in the industry have made and. Man no wonder that so much milquetoast stuff gets put out nowadays

#not to be a hater and controversial but #the fact that its often straight people judging whether queer representation has problematic elements (and similar situations)#and lots of queer media seems to be made with straight people in mind (at least as a considerable portion of the audience)#and ugh in general/unrelated like. i just want to write litfic about the human condition XDD and structural inequality #but if i do it with fanfic nobody will read it because my most popular fics will always be ones where white men kiss each other for 3k word #obviously i'm grateful that anyone reads anything i write aggdhfh it's very nice to be heard #but fr my most popular fics are NOT my best ones #and yeah like if i write original fiction it's unlikely to do well in publishing because there's no hot sexy straight romance or wholesome #soft high school good representation queer people:3 #maybe i can put in a red herring twink guy idk #also i'm just so bitter about linguistic inequality still XDD like. in a video abt fantasy tropes the person making the video hates they #said that they hate 'overly long fantasy names' that they can't pronounce #which just made me go 'silence anglo' mentally because omfg super often those names are just BASED ON CULTURES YOU'RE NOT PART OF #(disclaimer i know not all english speakers are ignorant hahfjsdhjfj)#but yeah its funny when old english inspired names are too hard for modern english speakers like welcome to being anyone else lol #its somehow considered a minimum requirement of knowledge to be able to pronounce names like george and matthew correctly #but then for other languages it's a special courtesy if people say names right #afujishgfis and this is just one example #rant #writing #literature

‘people wouldn’t say ‘oh you evangelicals, you’re so repressed and obsessed with sex’ to a muslim, but it’s ok to say it to christians!’

mum i hate to break it to you but muslims get hatecrimed every day in this country, my sister’s friend’s fiancé being rude and inappropriate really doesn’t compare to that

#personal #said sister’s friend’s fiancé is also a walking red flag and likely said that in the first place to try and isolate his fiancée from one of #her few remaining friends #but i digress #it’s the victim complex for me #which is WILD bc my mum does actually have multiple axes across which she is structurally oppressed but she’s chosen to die on the hill of #being a white straight transphobic christian

Had some wine feeling good made a really shitty bowl in ceramics class this morning that I’m really worried has a bunch of air holes in it and had a really crappy therapy session where I didn’t talk too much but was honest about some other stuff which is good overall I guess but now I’m doing drunk crochet and watching the Duggar family documentary and probably going to stop watching soon once they start talking about the awful stuff but yeah day in the life of a woman doing her best I guess

#like both sides of my family are either Irish catholic. converted assimilation catholic. or part Jewish but raised catholic.#but my mom read the Boston glob report so I wasn’t baptized or anything and despite her born again phase I’ve never really been religious #so the thought of growing up in that environment is like I can’t imagine the pressure oh my god #like I’ve had Mormon friends and have some friends who were raised homeschool Christian married young and all and like #i don’t know it’s just wild how different our lives are like I’ve got a problems and def inherited the guilt complex thing for sure but like #I also never got told to submit to anyone or that god was watching #or to be modest or any of the purity stuff beyond normal patriarchy stuff #like I’m not saying my life is better but I didn’t do church after age 5 and only go to funeral masses so I like the comfort of like #doing sign of cross and saying Hail Mary and all bc it provides structure for grief but beyond that I can’t imagine living with all of that #these are very long tags with no real point beyond wow. that’s literally bananas to me. but did I mention I’m a little drunk #and even then my family isn’t like hardcore catholic. my grandma and her siblings skipped church to get donuts bc no farm work on Sunday #and my dad grew up like doing fasted mass and everything but heard the 2000s Harvey milk speech and realized gay ppl are okay #and then rest of extended dads side is like catholic but vote blue and think human rights are good and all #my mom has a student who’s like very traditional catholic like she was trying to teach him math and whatever #and the live coverage of waiting for pope confirmation was on tv the whole time #and he fights with her about evolution and learning about the existence of other religions and everything #so I guess even in my own family like. everyone’s down with basic science and civil liberties which is even weirder for me I guess #like not even among fundamentalists like just regular Catholics I’ve had a pretty liberal upbringing re faith. it’s just wild to me #to see the differences of worldview #and even non religion stuff was pretty liberal overall despite living in pretty red area. idk it’s just wild how different life can be

mfs (my best friend) will say "omg he's literally so fine I want this man's children" and then pull out a picture of a guy who looks like a third time divorcé who's losing the kids and is quietly metamorphosing into a blobfish

#help me #ive told her SO MANY GODDAMNED TIMES #dude not even kidding this guy looks THIRTY YEARS OLD but somehow still gangly #hes got the bone structure of a depressed ape #AND A BUZZCUT TO MATCH #IM SOBBING IT MADE ME LITERALLY WHEN SHE SHOWED ME THE PICTURE #i cant stress enough how deformed this man looks #AND THE WORST THING IS MY POOR DELUDED BABE IS AN 11/10 IN HOW SCRUMPTIOUS SHE IS #WHY IS SHE THIRSTING OVER SOMEONE WHO LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVENT SEEN WATER IN 12 YEARS #oh and hes disrespectful towards his mother and women #WHY DOES SHE DO THIS TO HERSELF #girl sees a red flag and runs straight towards it screaming rail me #crying

#tag talk #learning language just makes my brain vibrate on just the right frequency #my goal for the rest of this year and the year coming is to get really good at Spanish #between Language Transfer (really fucking good go check it out thanks to my sibling recommending it to me) and then #then all the immersion I've been doing with music and TV #I feel like I stand a chance of getting genuinely good at it #I have this dream of knowing several other languages but I need to start by developing the skill with a language I'm already familiar with #and now I'm medicated I can finally push for like.. an actual goal and achievement #this feels like an extension of my obsession with communication.#which now that I think about it. a lot of things I love have a strong communication aspect to them.#music. fashion. art. they all communicate ideas.#that's even maybe what I like about porn. it's a work that's designed to communicate a very specific feeling and idea #and kink is an expression of power and trust. control and release. poetry.#do these tags read like the ramblings of a mad man? am I just throwing darts at a wall and connecting them with red string?#maybe I am crazy. but I'm not wrong. I'm autistic I'm incapable of believing I'm wrong.#is that joke in poor taste? probably.#anyway. I love communication and learning Spanish is my gateway to an entire world of ideas embedded in the structure of language itself #plus it would probably help my ability to keep up with my brother's dreams of traveling abroad #and I could help him learn languages cause I love teaching and he's not as hardwired for it as I am.#oh also I bought a vocabulary book to work through because language transfer is teaching me the grammar and structure #but I need vocabulary to back it up #I have a small work vocabulary I use with the customers who don't speak English very well. shit like “this. it works?”#but even like. idk. I'm really good at understanding people with difficult speech.#one resident at my nursing home had severe muscle degeneration and couldn't do much outside of vague flopping #but she would still try to speak and I got pretty good at understanding her and having conversations while feeding her.#she was in the navy and ate a bunch of neat food in Korea and she's the reason I finally watched Jaws for the first time #and like.. my ability to understand is what let her influence my life like that. I got to connect with another human being.#like. it's a gift that enhances my life and I want to choose to shape my life around this gift.#my love and obsession with communication is something I've had my whole life and if is something constant I need to consider it #so many other things in my life are shifting and uncertain. I want to chase the constant source of joy that's a part of who I am.
